One Nation leader Pauline Hanson claims censorship as cartoons mocking fellow MPs cop criticism

Key points

  • Pauline Hanson says her Please Explain cartoons will stay on air, rejecting calls to pull them as federal MPs prepared to honour independent MP Helen Haines after an attack on her. Hanson accused Labor and the Coalition of using the tragedy to silence critics, arguing free speech and satire must be protected.
  • The cartoons have drawn criticism for repeatedly labelling Liberal MP Andrew Hastie a traitor and mocking Senator Jacqui Lambie's health.
  • Separately, donations to Save the Children in Dr Haines's honour have passed $919,000, and some MPs are signing a voluntary civility pledge.
